This looks like more con-Fusion from the guys and gals in Beaverton -- did I just coin a new phrase?
Actually, no. People have been saying "Con-Fusion(s)" for a while now. ANYWAY -- These are pretty nice, just as nice as they were on CP's feet, during the USA Basketball event at Rockerfeller. I'll put white laces in mine though. Do I see clear striping on the soles? DELISH!

There will also be a special limited edition that will launch at select retailers Friday, August 8, 2008, with a suggested retail price of $135."
